The Arqus Innovation Fund incentives innovative internal bottom-up initiatives with an impact on the entire Alliance from Arqus staff and students through the availability of seed-funding to foster innovation and entrepreneurial mindset, and also to strengthen the visibility of Arqus internally and promote further staff engagement.
The aim of this seed-funding call 2024 is twofold:
- For Arqus Working Groups: The aim is to provide guidance to Arqus Working Groups on the external funding opportunities available for the individual innovative initiatives in the Arqus Erasmus+ work plan 2022-2026, and to provide financial support for expenses that cannot be covered by other sources. Please note that funding for the design of innovative forms of mobility will be assessed separately under this seed-funding call.
- For ad hoc bottom-up initiatives: The aim is to incentivise innovative ad hoc bottom-up initiatives from Arqus academics, administrative staff and students with a joint approach.
All members of the Arqus European University Alliance – including Working Groups, academics, admin staff and students – are invited to submit proposals.
The deadline for submitting applications for this call is June 30, 2024.
